BMW's can be hacked!


Any BMW owned car, which includes BMW, Rolls-Royce, or Mini Cooper, that have the Connected Drive feature have received a security update. See, people who want to rob these cars can easily do so, and they could do it without even being near the car!

The ConnectedDrive in BMW cars allow the hacker to have access to traffic information, air conditioning, and door locks. Therefore, BMW is using HTTPS to encrypt all of the data transmissions and the owners are receiving an update through the air.

For all you gamers out there!

Happy Holidays to everyone and thanks to everyone for the support for this blog!


In this post, I am linking engadget's article for all the top 17 gaming gadgets that you can get at a descent price. I am myself a gamer, and although I do own a gaming laptop, to be specific a Toshiba Qosimio X75, I would rather sell my laptop for one of the ones that are mentioned in engadget's article, like the Asus ROG G751.

LG AKA Phones, phones with their own personalities.

The LG AKA phones are unique phones for any phone user because they place a personality within the phone. According to Engadget, they say that these phones are for lonely people with rich imagination, who name every single inanimate object they own, and give them voices. 

This collection of phones comes in four colors and they all have their own personalities and backstories. For instance, the yellow phone is called Eggy, and its backstory is that it falls in love very easily. 

What is unique about these phones is that they have front covers that cover three-fourths of the screen and then have virtual eyes that match the personalities of the phone. But if the users want to have fun and want them to pretend  to have a multiple personality disorder. The problem with these phones are that the inside specifications of the phones aren't that great.

New Competition for Tesla


As Tesla has released it's new Model D, there are other companies that are rising to compete with the electric car company. Porsche and Mercedes have both announced that they will be developing all-electric vehicles that would compete directly with the Model S and Model D. These cars are supposedly said to have a range of 250 miles. Porsche will probably make their Panamera all-electric, and Mercedes with its E or S class sedans.
However, Porsche's electric sedan won't be released until 2018 and Mercedes won't have theirs by 2021. So in between that time Tesla will be able to build an audience and it will get increasingly fiercer, since the Model 3 will be released soon.
